Jonathan Rosenblum, Leib Litman and Nachum Greenberg

The authors evaluate a novel compression device, Sequential Contraction Compression Therapy Device (SCCD) on patients with hypo esthetic Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. The authors selected 15 patients all of whom had a diagnosis of DPN and were currently taking 150 mg. of Pregabalin twice daily. After thirty days of treatment with SCCD, patients were evaluated for improvement in their pain score, amount of rescue drugs used, and the amount of sleep interference they experienced. All patients experience statistically significant improvement in all three measurements.
